The $0.01 thing is deceptive, because you pay $3.99 in shipping. It's still a four-dollar book, but still. Amazon makes a commission off that sale based on the price after shipping, which is why they're willing to sell used books at $0.01.

This is part of Harlequin's 60 year anniversary promotion. There are lots of free HQ's running around right now.

Actually I'm in Australia, so with all the postage it ended up being about $18 Aus. Bahaha! For a 1c book! But it was something I really needed and I would have paid triple that to get it. I'm reading it now and it was well worth it!
